Pretty interesting game tonight....Celtics at Rockets.
Celtics HOT Trends:
Celtics are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Southwest.
Celtics are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
Celtics are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. win.
Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win.
Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western Conference
Rockets HOT Trends:
Rockets are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
Rockets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Atlantic.
Rockets are 18-4 ATS in their last 22 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.
Rockets are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 days rest.
Rockets are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games.
Rockets are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as a home favorite.
Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games.
Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5.
Road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings
The Celtics are 13-2 in the second half of back-to-back games, have won 12 of their last 13 overall
The numbers are similar to last nights. Celts avg 100.6 vs Houstons 97.1 and give up 90.3 vs Hous 91.7. On the road, the Celts avg 100.9 and Hou at home 98.2 but the Celts give up 92.5 on the road vs 90.3 by the Rockets at home. The major difference between last nights game and tonight is the Spurs have been playing bad lately and the Rockets are on a huge streak!
The Rockets are on fire right now...Celts may be tired after last nights game. I hope some of this info helps. Should be a great game.
I am making a play on the moneyline at +170 just for fun. I am not advocating this play therefore I will not count it toward my record. I just think that if anyone can end the Rockets streak it is the Celtics! Good Luck if you play!!!

Wunderdog's free baseball pick
Game: Oakland at Texas (4:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Oakland +102 (moneyline)
The A's have had a great spring thus far at 15-5. They have scored more runs than any other team in the Cactus League, and at the same time have given up the fewest. Justin Duchscherer continues to impress this spring with his 2.25 ERA in two appearances, and is penciled into the rotation to this point. The Rangers will send Luis Mendoza to the hill. Mendoza is trying to lock down a place in the starting rotation, but his spring performance is not aiding his case. Mendoza has pitched to a 12.15 ERA this spring, so we will ride the A's who have been great at the plate and on the hill and have what appears to be the pitching advantage here.

Wunderdog free Basketball pick
Game: Los Angeles Lakers at Dallas (8:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Dallas -5.5 (-110)
The Lakers are all of a sudden at risk of losing three straight. We think they do, and don't keep it close. They've had a rough schedule since sitting on top of the Western Conference a few days ago. They had to face New Orleans, then Houston and now Dallas with Utah on deck! Without the services of Pau Gasol, this team just isn't nearly as good. We were all over Houston last game as our Game of the Month and the Lakers lost by 12 points. Without Gasol again here, facing a resurrgent Mavs team, we see a similar result. Even before Gasol went out, there were signs of problems for LA as tehy have now lost seven of their last ten games ATS. Dallas meanwhile has won five straight SU and ATS, blowing out all comers. They love playing at home where they are 29-4, and they will be "up" for this game. The Lakers are 1-9 ATS the past two seasons off two straight road losses. They are also 4-16 ATS in March games this season and last. Dallas is 9-0 ATS the past two seasons at home after covering the spread as a double-digit favorite. We have momentum going in two completely opposite directions here and we'll take the team on the up, which is Dallas.

A couple of games to look at.......
CREIGHTON -7
Not on here to talk about getting screwed ,but I think the BlueJays got screwed out of the tourney big time! Good for us because they'll be laying the to wood to a few of these teams along the way. Rhode Island 1-8 ats in their last nine games and overall 1-7 straight up in their last 8 games. They back into this game on the strenght of a weak early non conf. schedule,not to mention their lack of defense,something that Crieghton can play!On offense a couple of good scoring guards is the heart of their team. Creighton is the better team on both ends of the court and a super team at home v.s. a bad road team that's hit the skids. Close early, but look for the BlueJays to be in total control of this game.
Creighton/Rhode Island OVER 151
A few scoring nuggets for you. Creighton avg. 80 ppg. at home in their last 8 home games, they also avg. 81 ppg. when coming off of at least 5 days rest. Rhode Island avg. 81 ppg. in their last 6 road games and giving up and avg. of 82 ppg. in their last 9 road games.R.I. also continues to score coming off at least a 5 day break with a 82 ppg. avg. Throw in the fact that R.I. just doesn't play much def. at all and I think this one goes OVER the total tonight.
Small leans tonight......
OK.St +5-
OHIO -8

Another freebie from wunderdog
Game: N C Asheville at Ohio State (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: N C Asheville +14 (-110)
At 7'7" Kenny George gets all the attention on this Asheville team, but this team has some players. He is however a difference maker. NC Asheville lost only to Eastern Tennessee State, North Carolina, Tennessee and Winthrop with him playing. He had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks against the Heels. He had 7, 13 and 4 against Tennessee as well as 16, 13 and 3 vs. SC - a game they won. They played at two of the top teams in the country in Tennessee and North Carolina and held their own, dropping both by less than this pointspread. Ohio State got off quickly at 12-3, but really slid and finished just 7-10. Disappointed on being a bubble team that was left out in the cold means getting up for UNC Ashville might be quite a chore, so we will ride the dog here.

1.) Congrats Team FLA JTMoney. Nice job and hope the new addition to the family goes well for you as I'm sure it will.
2.) Love those pix bee smart. You are dead on. Little scared of the over due to the layoff but good logic.
3.) thanks for the pm's on the free plays. Hey, anything I can do to help.
4.) Messy, your setting yourself up for another heartbreak. Celts won't get to the conference finals. mark my words. Cleveland or Detroit will represent the East.
5.)Is it baseball season yet? I can't fricken wait and have the REAL opening day (not some homo's dressed in red playing in Japan and eating sushi) plays which I'll hammer on gotpicks for ya. JTmoney..remember my advice on the Royals at home to open the season$$$$$ Just ask schills how that worked out last year.
have a great day everyone. The madness is coming, get in ricky's GP pool so you can win some loot and make fun of Billz.

Run till the FINAL FOUR
record 14-14
NBA
DALLAS -5.5
simply a trend play here... Lakers failing to cover the last 4, while Dallas is on a nice 5 game cover streak. No Gasol, Ill roll Mavs
NCAA
STEPHEN AUSTIN +9
RICHMOND +11
RIDER +6
MINNESOTA -2.5
Three dogs here and a hot MINNY team that I feel have a chance to certainly hang tough, and maybe pull off upsets. Dogs have been biting all post season in college, and in the NIT< I think it means more to these smaller programs vs. a Virginia, UMass, ODU, and Maryland.
